Christmas Day

On Christmas Day the kids checked out what Santa brought and opened a gazillion gifts. Reed cooked breakfast while they got ready. After everything was cleaned up and packing was done, they headed for American Falls for a few more days of fun and celebrations with Brandon's family.




Then it was off to the Johnsons for a visit. As you can see, each kid got a Nintendo DS. It was really quiet around there as each one was intent on figuring out and playing on his/her DS. I think these are gifts that will really get used, keep them busy and sharpen their skills. Kim and Bryan got a card table and chair set.





All is peaceful and calm on the homefront. We are home alone. It is one of those 'lounging around' days. We had tuna sandwiches for lunch. Reed had a nap. We have watched the birds having their Christmas feast at our birdfeeders. It has snowed on and off all day but the bulk of the big predicted storm has not arrived yet. It is so quiet all I can hear is the hum of the refrigerator, tapping on the computer keyboard and the click of the mouse. I caught up on the holiday blogs. I did a couple of sudoku puzzles. Reed is inputting family history information on PAF on the other computer. Okay, what should we do next? Christmas Day has come and gone. We were able to spend time with family. We were home for Christmas. It was a white Christmas. Now get me out of here. Time to go somewhere warm.
